The State Comptroller and State Treasurer shall pay to the Authority, from such funds as from time to time are legally available therefor, the aggregate amount of the intercept, unless the Authority sooner notifies the State Comptroller and State Treasurer in writing that no further payments that the city is entitled to receive shall be intercepted under the provisions of this Section.
